About Us

baseplus offers specialist skills in microscopic traffic simulation (microsimulation) to provide clients with insight into their transport projects and to help them choose the right tools for those projects.

Our models display, in real time, multi-class vehicles interacting with both the environment and with each other. By modelling the micro elements in a city-wide context, we are able to assist in detailed junction design to area-wide route decisions. The applications are far reaching, with the level of detail and calibration often only limited by available observed data.

We help clients purchase modelling software such as S-Paramics, SCATS, Wintraff and FUSE, and offer them training on these programs they can start their own modelling projects.

We also provide traffic and signalling advice, models, peer reviews, design work and traffic surveys which can be applied to a vast range of purposes and situations.

In 2009, baseplus announced its merger with Aurecon – a leading, vibrant, global group providing a broad range of multi-disciplinary professional technical services, enhanced expertise and service delivery capability across diverse market sectors.

This merger has allowed us to work collaboratively with our clients as a professional services partner throughout the entire asset life cycle, from pre-feasibility and business case preparation through to the operation and maintenance phases.

Christchurch CBD Modelling

The S-Paramics suite of programmes is a fantastic tool for Councils to construct and subsequently test alternative strategies, policies, proposed developments etc on the CBD area. This enables the wider effects of proposals to be assessed and analysed with a greater degree of confidence. Conventional strategic models do this at a high level, but S-Paramics, with the knowledge of baseplus , can model what actually occurs on street with visual assessment and analysis to back it up.

We can offer the development of the CBD model linked to the SCATS signal controllers. This is revolutionary in simulation modelling circles and enables the model to assess exactly what occurs on street, thus adding an additional element of confidence and reality to the modelling output. baseplus staff in association with SIAS staff in Edinburgh, developed the software and knowledge in which to apply this additional feature, and in New Zealand are the only consultancy with the ability to integrate and apply SCATS and S-Paramics. In addition, we offer our clients 4 dimensional modelling, where we incorporate 3 dimensional models of the buildings, street infrastructure, topography etc. within the modelled area. This is proved to be highly successful in consultations for ease of orientation around the network but also enabling a realistic picture of the scheme to be visualised.
